Abu Dhabi will host the most expensive art exhibition Sotheby's has ever staged in the Middle East on October 1 and 2, valued at around $150 million. The show features six masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Frida Kahlo, René Magritte, Camille Pissarro, and Edvard Munch, sourced from major private collections including those of Leonard A. Lauder, Cindy and Jay Pritzker, and Matthew and Kay Bucksbaum. It takes place at the Bassam Freiha Art Foundation on Saadiyat Island and precedes Sotheby's first Abu Dhabi Collectors' Week in November. After the exhibition, the works will travel to London and Paris before being auctioned at Sotheby's new headquarters in the Breuer Building in New York.
